So i got married last weekend, had to have my girl take me to the church :) was hard giving the keys to my petrolhead bestman to drive her to the hotel while i relaxed in a fancy Mercedes.

International spotting!!! On my last day in Rome, just got in the taxi and drove past a dark blue Rado. Perfect end to a perfect holiday

Don't know if it's just mine, but she really does making owning her hard work, and since there is a what have you done to your car today thread I thought I would start a what has broken thread. So in the last two weeks I have had my sun roof blow out Boost pipe blow off, central locking relay not working. What makes this one worse is that my other half is not the rados greatest admirer, so when I took her out for a meal last night and the rely stoped working I had to climb in through the boot as i have installed passat rear handles. One very unhappy girlfriend now that more money has to be spent on a car. the joys of owning a 26 year old car

Unusual Corrado, not sure what I think of it TBH

im 50/50, looks more like a ford puma -
looks like i have a very small paint chip, but got a new roof fitted that evening, luckly a freind had a spare in their garage unfortunalty its grey not black but had a quote for £100 to spray it up, considering how much of an arse it is to get the roof in and out, don't thin its a bad price. plus i have the remains of the old roof to paint match against :)

was this the G60 at the megameet, if so it looked good, had a quick look as you were working under the bonet while your misses was cleaning your wheels..... she's a keeper lol

Since my Rado has just reached the old age of 26, this has definitely got to be worth a go https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/119497

Good work finding the old thread, Sounds like i was going on the same runway at very similar speeds just a ikle faster, hope its not a sunroof design fault :/ got a new obe fitted last night so im water tight just need to get it sprayed
-
Just happy that it didn't hit the AMG behind me. I might add it was a nice straight dual carriageway with a heavy right foot ;) don't think it would hapen at normal speeds
-
No fully closed, but needed changing as the seal was not great and roof wouldn't go back
-
My sunroof as I'm doing "motorway speeds" :(
-
spotted a dark blue VR6 at Newton Abbot sainsburys / McDonalds. first spot of a rado for a long time :) was in a black 20VT rado

I have my baby back and running perfectly, after having a rather large very lumpy running paper weight sat on my drive, took her to VwS in Exeter. evrything that my ex friend who did the conversion said was crap. they had it running an sounding awesome in under 3 hours. so happy even if the misses said she was leaving i don't think it would remove this smile :) gonna be boosting all around south devon over the christmas break :) -
